For a perfect romantic dinner, you first need to create an intimate atmosphere, a small bubble free of distractions in which only you and your special guest exist. It would be ideal to break the routine, and thus avoid having dinner at the same table where you and your partner share meals. Think outside the box and find an unusual but welcoming space in your home, great for creating a romantic and comfortable atmosphere where you can relax and open up to each other. In summer you could prepare your dinner in the garden or on the terrace, while in winter you can simply move the table under a window, or under the burning fireplace, which will be the background to your conversations with its relaxing crackle
.You'll need to pay particular attention to lighting. The soft light of the candles is ideal for recreating an intimate and safe space, so place them at the table as a centerpiece together with other strategically placed candles, so that the room is neither too bright but not too dark. You can also use the light of small lamps or floor lamps, adjusting their lighting as you like. Also take care of the fragrance of the room in which you will dine, remembering not to abound because the real scents of the evening will be those of your dishes
.As for the table, it will not be necessary for it to be as impeccable as that of a restaurant, nor that it be entirely occupied by a flashy centerpiece or other decorations. Leave enough space for you and your half, so you can always move freely. Use a simple tablecloth, with equally simple plates and cutlery. Take care of cleaning everything properly, without leaving stains or streaks.
After having seen how to choose and organize the environment for your dinner, let's focus on which dishes to offer. Whether you are an experienced cook or a budding cook, don't worry: cooking for another person is a symbol of love and attention, your efforts will surely be noticed and appreciated by your guest. It won't be the end of the world if something were to go differently than expected, take the opportunity to laugh about it with your guest!
Don't try your hand at recipes that are too complicated. Choose dishes that are easy to prepare, that don't take too long to prepare and that aren't too difficult. So you can prepare everything you need before your sweetheart arrives, so that you can then simply serve everything, without constantly going from the table to the kitchen. Avoid fried foods, which could leave strong odors in the house, along with foods that could stain. Garlic and onion are also banned, you don't want heavy breath at a romantic dinner! Opt for a simple recipe like Cantonese rice, or a creamy radicchio risotto. Tease with quality cold cuts and cheeses and, as a second course, propose light meats. Finally, to finish with a note of sweetness, you can serve delicious and special desserts such as the Natural Cannolicchi di Poromar

However, what really cannot be missing in every self-respecting romantic dinner is wine. A glass of wine, in addition to being good for your health, will help you relax, making you more relaxed and less shy. Besides, who doesn't like wine? Directly from our fine wine boutique, we offer you the Müller Thurgau from the Klaus Lentsch Estate. It is an aromatic, fruity lychee and peach wine with pleasant exotic and citrus sensations. Its delicate taste and bouquet make it perfect for your dinner. You can't go wrong with a bottle of Müller
Thurgau!An excellent red wine is the Cabernet Franc Selezione Venezia DOC, with an intense red color with garnet reflections. It has an elegant and harmonious taste, complex both on the nose and on the palate. It shows a rich personality due to its structure and tannins, which give freshness and tone to the long aromatic finish.
Its complexity therefore makes it excellent to accompany noble poultry meat, game, roasts and aged cheeses.For your date with your partner, prepare a menu with flakes with Spaghetti and Mandolin!
